TiVo Mini and OTA?

Thanks to my TiVo HD hooked up to an antenna, and Roku/Netflix/Amazon, I cut the cord a few years ago. Now I'd like to stream OTA from the antenna (which is upstairs) to a TiVo Mini downstairs. I know my TiVo HD won't work with the Mini. Which model should I replace it with?

As Loach said the Mini currently does not work for OTA only people. The only current Tivo solution for multiple TVs and OTA is multiple TiVo DVRs. There are rumors that TiVo maybe releasing a new DVR that will work with OTA but no real details are known.

Or, OP you can check out this thread and take your chances. Not the Tivo Way of course, but their programming limitations caused it.

"Now I'd like to stream OTA from the antenna (which is upstairs) to a TiVo Mini downstairs"​

it sounds like he wants to stream live OTA TV which is impossible at this time.

Right.
Although you can do a bit of a workaround by beginning a recording of the OTA program on the 2-tuner Premiere and then streaming that in-progress recording to the Mini. But that's a hassle, and you may not want to tie up the disk space to record something you wanted to watch live.

At this time I just don't see a Mini being a good fit for Traal - it would take too much new equipement (two Premieres (a 2-tuner and a 4-tuner + the mini) and still wouldn't quite do what he wanted.

If you use the tablet app it makes it much less of a hassle. You initiate the recording on the OTA premiere from the tablet while you are viewing the Mini. The you just go to the Shows list of that OTA premiere and watch it from the Mini. Never needing to leave your seat or change inputs.
